Peer mentors develop leadership skills essential for future success in the the workplace and graduate school.

Interested in getting involved on a research project? Are you interested in developing research skills necessary for entrance into graduate school? Research assistants often have the opportunity to travel to cities across the U.S. at national conferences in the field of child and adolescent development. Contact your professors and ask them about their current research projects. They will guide you in shaping your research interests.
